Episode Synopsis

When you talk to young people entering the working world, one of their biggest concerns is securing affordable housing. The bigger the city, the more difficult it is to find safe and affordable housing for young people. On this episode of Searching for Solutions, we talk with Robert Barnard, founder of Toboggan Flats and Theodore Heintzman, Research and Outreach Coordinator at Toboggan Flats about creating living spaces for young people from repurposed vacant in downtowns across Canada. Finding new and creative ways to house people is one of the keys to addressing the housing shortages in many communities across the country.
